About the Craftsmanship
Our premium leather products are made by leather artisan Katy Warriner at her home studio based on the fringes of Dartmoor in West Devon, England
About the Leather
The leather is crafted using the traditional method of full vegetable tanning, specifically for English bridle leather. Natural plant-based tannins are applied to gradually enhance the strength and durability of the material. After the tanning process, the hides are meticulously hand-finished to achieve a smooth and even texture. A carefully blended mix of tallow waxes is then hand-applied, conditioning the leather and providing a smooth, resilient finish capable of withstanding wear and tear. This results in a leather that is strong, smooth, and exceptionally durable. The tanning is done in Spain, with the finishing completed by skilled curriers in Northampton, England.
About the Hardware
A small, family-run foundry in Walsall, established in 1832 by the Stanley Brothers, is now owned and operated by Abbey England. Since 1999, they have held a royal warrant from Her Majesty the Queen for saddlery and workshop materials. Using traditional green and sand-casting techniques, they produce hardware that perfectly complements leather, with a focus on classic saddlery and harness designs. Abbey England is the leading supplier to the saddlery and leathercraft industries.
